Do you eat instant noodles? / myLot

January 27, 2023 7:38am CST

I just read an article about instant noodles. A man ate instant noodles for 4 years. After these 4 years he started to have some symptoms. When he visited the doctor he found out that he has stage 4 stomach cancer. I wasn't aware that instant noodles are so bad. My brother used to eat them. He doesn't care too much about food. Do you eat instant noodles?

Once or twice a month as a side dish, they can come in handy. They are a bit high in sodium, but I don't think having them on occasion will be carcinogenic.

I think if you consume a lot it might have a bad effect on you. We eat them occasionally but not on a regular basis. I think moderation is the key here. Or maybe the manufacturer of that certain brand might be the culprit.

@dya80dya Oh I guess that was the reason why. Although if you are here in Southeast Asia Noodles are really a part of your daily diet. For some, they eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and they survive it.

Those are absolutely stuffed with sodium, and the carbs are pretty high as well. The clincher for me is most of them have MSG, which I cannot have. They are what they are--a very cheap meal, and not good for us. They are tasty, just not for me.

Most unhealthy foods are tasty. It's easy to be addicted to them. What is cheap is usually not healthy.

@dya80dya They are just chock full of bad ingredients. Only takes a few minutes to make soup from scratch, depending on the type of soup. I don't buy the ramen cups, etc.
